In the process of recruitment, gender is one of the major categorization – which cannot be omitted or escaped (Eagly and Carli, 2006). Studies show (see Eagly, Carli, Schein, Heilman) that women tend to be evaluated less favorably in comparison to men when being recruited. Even in experiments where both candidates own exact skills and knowledge (see Moss-Racusin et al., 2012; Flynn and Anderson, 2002), still there are existent discrepancies between evaluation of male and female candidates. Within the following research, author wanted to investigate whether the experience of recruiter has a significant impact on assessment of a candidate with regard to candidate’s gender. In order to answer the research question, author has conducted a controlled experiment on sample of 100 participants, with equal representation of experienced (MBA students) and unexperienced recruiters (MSc students). Results indicate that still gender bias within the organization may influence the outcome of the recruitment process resulting in less favorable evaluation of female candidates, additionally, it suggests that more experienced recruiters, are less likely to be biased in this regard.

The following article is an attempt to give an answer to the question about, whether and how an entrepreneur, by making a car available to an employee, which is previously leased, is entitled to a full deduction of input Value added tax (VAT) on any related expenses. The jurisdiction on this issue is not uniform and the interpretation of article 86a sec. 1 Act on value added tax, still poses many problems. The examples of the sentences in the article, clearly and concisely define, what legal premises the entrepreneur must fulfil in order to benefit from the right to deduct VAT. By analysing them over the past few years it may also be observed that the case law does not go in the direction the entrepreneurs are expecting, so they will have to be patient and count on the Court’s favour.

The body of research on the market orientation used most representative samples from
post-communist country – Poland and its small-medium enterprises sector. According
to the literature review, very few studies have been conducted about effect of turbulent
environment in home country and internationalisation of SMEs. Additionally, previous
studies from developed countries might not be applicable to post-socialists countries,
whereas entrepreneurs differ with their entrepreneurial attitudes. The research is
integrative and focuses on the role of environmental turbulence caused by recent political
swift in Poland. Study also focus on governmental support programmes. This study
employs semi-structured interviews to gain understanding of the phenomenon. The study
also benefited from input from the different Polish sectors (IT, healthcare, construction,
technology), whereas sample is chosen by the most varied companies as well as leaders
from the sectors in order to gain additional insights.

Aviation is one of the fastest growing branches of transport. Its special development can be observed in Asia. Despite that aviation is global, its detailed specificity in Asia is different than in Europe. The comparison of the aviation market in Asia and Europe allows not only learning differences between the two markets but also shows similarities and opportunities for better regional communication. The work discusses the concepts of transport accessibility, measures of effectiveness and competitiveness of the offer of connections between air carriers and between airports. Moreover work discusses also new orders of planes and new concepts of air connections. The work also touched problem of size of used aircraft, frequency of connections, and the impact of low-cost airlines on the quality and prices of connections on both continents. In this work, we will find out that both markets, although seemingly similar, differ greatly but the main link between them is competitiveness.

The development and popularisation of modern Information and Communication Technologies
continue to have considerable impact on the functioning of a wide range of our daily life, particularly
when it comes to such an important sector as healthcare. The electronic medical records,
e-prescriptions or on-line medical consultations are merely a few practical application of ICT in this scope.
The article shows how the process of the e-prescription is being implemented in Poland and the
conditioning of the various legal and social aspects. Moreover, it challenges an analysis of legal
regulations concerning functioning of the e-prescription in Poland in comparison to the solutions
developed and accepted in other countries. The article uses example of the experience of
e-prescription in the European Union, as well as a chosen country from outside the EU.
The objective of this article is an attempt to evaluate if the solutions developed and applied in Poland
are more effective and safer in comparison to those functioning in other countries, or if it would
be more beneficial to explore the experience of the models in use in the analysed countries and
consider to implement in Poland some aspects of these solutions.

In the age of the Internet, social media are a constant element in many people’s everyday lives.
They are especially popular in the age group ranging from 18 to 24 years. Research dedicated to
the phenomenon of social media focuses on the promotion of brands on this type of communication
channels. Even though the topic of interactions between brands and customers in social media is
sparsely broached, it is important while considering building relationships with clients. The purpose
of the research conducted for this article is to show determinants and methods of young customer’s
interactions with brands in social media. The research was carried out with the help of an online
survey, created as an example of a quantitative method of analysis. The questionnaire was filled
out by 125 respondents in November 2018. Non-probability convenience sampling was applied
as a sampling methodology. From all respondents 115 individuals met the terms of this research
– young people (18–24) using social media. Findings presented in this article show the most popular
methods of interaction between brands and customers used on specific social media platforms, as
well as negative attributes of brand’s social media profiles that discourage other users from engaging
in interactions. In addition, research conducted for this article shows reasons for following brand’s
activity in social media.
